When should I call the OFAC Hotline?

Page Content

Please take the following "due diligence" steps in determining a valid OFAC match.

If you are calling about a wire transfer or other "live" transaction:

1. Is the "hit" or "match" against OFAC's SDN list or targeted countries, or is it "hitting" for some other reason (i.e., "Control List" or "PEP," "CIA," "Non-Cooperative Countries and Territories," "Canadian Consolidated List (OSFI)," "World Bank Debarred Parties," "Blocked Officials File," or "government official of a designated country"), or can you not tell what the "hit" is?
